Forest Roots- Holistic Therapies & Handcrafted Apothecary

20/05/2026

This evening consisted of me blending up my last 3 case study products for my Aromatherapy Practitioner's course.
I embarked on this journey 10 months ago, so its felt like a very long time coming, to get to this point.
Studying over 70 essential oils plus carrier oils & hydrosols, then completing 50 case studies, while working full time has been a challenge!!
However I have enjoyed creating every single product & hearing the feedback on how they have positively impacted people & helped them with their ailments & conditions has been so rewarding!!
Thank you so much to everyone who has willingly tested a product for me- you are all superstars!! I will be delivering these last couple of products over the next week & chasing any outstanding feedback, before I head to Glastonbury & submit my course work.
Incase you haven't guessed- I absolutely adore essential oils, aromatherapy & blending. I cannot wait to become a fully qualified Aromatherapist, I have so many exciting plans- watch this space ......💚

Had a wonderful day at The Mind, Body, Spirit & Book Fair at the Blandford Corn Exchange today.
Lots of wonderful vendors, workshops & talks. Had the privilege to give Traditional Reflexology to some lovely souls & met & chatted to many more.
A big thank you to my beautiful friend Fin for facilitating such a gorgeous event to raise funds for The Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance . I hope this is the first of many!!
The Cedar Tree Blandford Literary Festival

Treated myself to this stunning piece of art there- It is called 'Growth' & will be taking pride of place in my treatment space. 💚
